My upgrade isn't due until October this year and funnily enough it was the phone I've been given that I considered getting - however given a choice I'd have chosen the black one. I'm just gonna get a case for it, unluckily for me though that work don't sell them.

I have however made my phone screen all black and grey, so that's pretty awesome.

I'm due an upgrade in August. But i might switch contracts to another provider. it all depends what phones are around at the time that take my fancy. I'm hoping they'll be some nice shiny new releases by then

Our bathroom scales have broken and I'm not able to weigh mysefl to see how much i've lost. this angers me lol
I was also really shocked at the price of new bathroom scales, some of them extortionate!

Also, my OH has found a car hoorah! he picks it up Saturday, which will be 4 weeks he's been without a car. Soooo glad I don't have to be his personal taxi anymore.

if you've had your sim for more than 6 months you can use your phone number to "upgrade" to a different phone, as long as your sim is a uk network (orange, o2, tmobile etc) which can save yourself a fair amount of coin. You could get a phone similar to the one you have for around £40-£50 with an upgrade.

Is now an appropriate time to gloat, that even though some days my job makes me want to set the shop & the staff on fire I can wear dreads, not remove my piercings & freely have my tattoos on show? No? OK, I won't.

I could "get away with it" in an office environment too. It's more down to the employer as opposed to the type of business. I've seen suit wearing, brief case carrying people with dreads before. We have dreadlocked nurses & teachers on here too.

Meh. People should just stop being so narrow minded about frigging appearances!!

I think I can wear my hair however I want and have piercings and tattoos on show. Nobody has ever said anything. But they offset it by making me wear a horrible black tunic made from dinner-lady fabric.

I have a lot of points accrued from my vodafone top-ups and I do intend to use them towards a new phone. I'm just waiting for the day when I can be arsed. i don't get excited about things like that. I'd be really shit at your job, Sarah.

Yeah, the uniform thing. Ugh. Mine is 2 sizes to big so I look like I've borrowed my dad's clothes or I'm a heifer trying to hide my lumps & bumps. Work people were stunned the first time they saw me in normal clothes. Yes, my uniform is baggy, it makes for moving around & climbing tote box mountains easier!

My excitement for phones & things lasts for all of around 2 minutes. "ooh, what's new? That it? Meh. *throws* NEXT!!"
However, my new £400 Nokia is rather swish.

The longer you wait, the more loss

This. I had my blood taken by a nurse with facial piercings recently, and she said she liked my ink. That was nice.

Sarah, does your GP surgery opt into the National exercise program? If so - you could get 6 weeks of gym membership on prescription. Might be a cheaper option - you could see if using gym equipment helps with your condition? I looked into it for my condition, but was then told that most equipment would exacerbate the problems - the best thing for me is the rowing machine and thankfully we have one of those at home (my other half is a triathlete and saved up to get one!).
